I'm a Leo Now

So apparently the zodiac signs and dates have changed and there is a new sign?

 I wonder what made today the day that it was official :) I don't necessarily "believe" in horoscopes,
 but I do think its fun to read them in the back of my magazines.
 I can't remember every having one of my predictions come true,
 though i really hoped my Seventeen magazine would be right about having a mysteriously handsome guy ask me to the prom, or whatever.

I think people just like being told who they are sometimes.

My b-day is Aug 31st,
which made me a Virgo
And I always knew this couldnt be right.

Traits of a Virgo:

picky
critical
detail oriented
organized
planner

Not Me

So usually I would just pretend I was a Leo
Positive 
Independent
Creative
Enthusiastic

I was only a few days off from Leo,
and I liked their horoscopes better.

Now with the change, I guess I am truly a Leo!

Taken From

"Astronomer Parke Kunkle says that due to changes in the Earth's alignment the dates of many zodiac signs have changed, according to NBC. In addition, there may be a 13th Zodiac sign: Ophiuchus.

Kunkle says that as the Earth and Sun slowly move the signs gradually change, as expected.

The change didn't happen over night either. The 12 signs were designated to different periods of the year almost 3,000 years ago, when astrology began, and since then the Earth's position in relation to the sun has changed.

While the sign many people were born under may now be different, it shouldn't affect horoscope readings, according to NBC.
